Paint removal question
I always liked using one of those razor blade scrapers. They will take the paint right off and leave the primer, it is dry, no mess with the aircraft stripper (used that stuff when I worked in the rod shop) you don't have to hose the car down after, and no burns when that crud eats through 3 layers of rubber gloves. When you get all the paint off you just hit it with the 80 grit on the DA and then go to town on the body work!
When I worked in the rod show I could have a whole car down to bare metal by lunch time I just couldn't touch it with my bare hands due to all the coffee I drank at the time. By the end of the day the car would have rusty hand prints all over it. Too much coffee will F up your body!
